Dutch Angular Meet Up @ Axxes IT

Get ready for an exciting Angular evening! 🚀
Axxes and the Dutch Angular Group have joined forces to bring you a top-notch meetup — hosted at the Axxes office. We kick off with a free dinner and drinks, followed by two inspiring talks:

🔔 Sander Elias — "Signals, watch the effect!"
You should avoid effects. which is something you hear a lot. Yeah, easy said, but why? And aside of the why, how?
In your code you need to react to things coming from (input)signals, and you need to react to them. An effect seems to be 'the way', and is very alluring. But it is not the way, it is a way, and it is a way that is very hard to get right.
In this talks I will explain why you should avoid effects, and teach you some ideas on how to avoid them. And I'll show you some code that is not using effects, and is still very readable and maintainable.

🧑‍💻 Yannick Houbrix — "Angular Resource API Explained"
Learn how to leverage Angular’s new Resource API to simplify fetching data asynchronously. We’ll cover the basics of using resource() to load data, managing dynamic parameters, handling loading and error states, reloading data on demand, and how this integrates with Angular’s reactive Signals system for reactive UIs. By the end, you’ll understand how to replace RxJS patterns with a more straightforward, signal-based approach for common data loading scenarios.

Schedule:

• 17:30 Walk-in
• 18:00 Food & drinks (on us!)
• 19:00 First talk
• 20:00 Break
• 20:15 Second talk
• 21:15 Networking & drinks
• 22:00 End

Whether you're an experienced Angular developer or just starting to explore Signals and smarter local development, this evening is packed with practical insights, good food, and great people. See you there!
